mTouch is an alternative to traditional mechanical pushbuttons in your portable designs. New products benefit from being completely sealed, having no mechanical components that wear with time and having a modern looking design.
This OnRamp technical training will introduce Microchip’s mTouch™ Capacitive Touch Sensing technology and begin to explore some advanced design techniques and requirements. 
Agenda

• What is mTouch™ Capacitive Touch Sensing
• Overview of benefits and limitations of solution
• How to integrate mTouch™ Capacitive Touch Sensing into your Portable Instrumentation
  • Review Design Requirements / Best Practices
  • Outline of Microchip mTouch solutions
  • Details on the advantages of the Microchip solutions
• Board demonstration of Microchip mTouch solution
